Shhhhh! Don't let the secret out about Yosemite in winter! It's a magical wonderland. And most folks don't know yet, so no crowds!
Come see why The Americana by Porch Swing Vacation Homes is one of the most booked vacation homes in Pine Mountain Lake, it really does have it all! Having difficulty knowing if the home is as it seems to be? Then check out our website, porchswingvacationhomes,com for our photos and upcoming new video feature of the Americana and area!
***NEW this year! Why start your vacation "out of pocket" money and have to wait weeks after your stay for your refund? As a convenience to our guests, both repeat and new, we are only requiring a authorization for the security deposit. Call for details. And we are proud to say that we remit sales tax to support our beautiful area!
At The Americana you will find a beautiful home that is in the perfect location. On the fairway, away from the traffic and noise, but close enough to walk to the action of the lake. All this without having to spend a long time driving from the main gate, the only way in for guests of Pine Mountain Lake, to your home. The perfect location!
The Americana is ideal for those who want it all: golf, beach, hot tub, view or quiet getaway without being hit up for extra fees. The beauty of this decorated golf course home is evident from the first step inside. You'll be greeted with a gift bag of goodies, and an open floor plan that is ideal for entertaining friends and family.
Tired of having to haul it with you? Packing linens, spices, charcoal, etc. not a great way to start your trip? Do you need to check in with work, or family via the Internet, fax or phone calls? We have tried to anticipate every need you might have. From luxury sheets, to the fax machine, you will find no expense spared.
In the kitchen you will find it well stocked for all your cooking needs. From a griddle for your morning pancakes to china for that special romantic celebration, it's all there!
After your round of golf, time on the lake, or the day at Yosemite, BBQ with the gas grill on the back deck overlooking the fairway and watching the deer walk through the yard just about nightly! Look for Snowflake, the albino doe as well as other doe's who bring their fawns to visit!
Or enjoy a bike ride with one of the 4 bikes provided, a game of ping pong, air hockey, or darts. You can take a short walk to the beach to swim or catch the lake taxi for a ride (Available in the summer) or swim at the pool as our guest or at one of the 4 beaches at Pine Mt Lake. Horseshoes are provide to use at the horseshoe pits a short distance away. The Stables can provide trail rides for those horse lovers, or for those more adventurous, how about a rafting trip down the river!
Looking for a quiet romantic night? How about relaxing in the hot tub, or sitting in the backyard swing to take in the view of the golf course with your Sweetie. But don't forget that with just 26 miles to the entrance of the beautiful Yosemite National Park, you will have plenty of time to view the amazing and spectacular natural beauty of this national landmark. Come take in all 4 seasons of this spectacular place! Every season is one you'll want to experience.

July 25, 07 Kurt & Kathy Upon entering the "Americana" we were all oohing and aweing! We were thrilled about everything! We were pleasantly suprised by all the special attention to details. Although we came here primarily to lounge at the marina, we thoroughly enjoyed every moment inside the house, out at the hot tub, playing ping pong, riding the provided bikes, and sitting around the table and fellowshipping with good friends. We feel so blessed and would be honored to be able to come back "home" again! Thank You!
